  • Author: Sarah

Ingredients

Scale

To make Cheesy BBQ Chicken Pinwheels, you’ll need the following ingredients:

  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (rotisserie chicken works great)
  • 1 cup BBQ sauce
  • 1 ½ cups shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend)
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tbsp chopped green onions
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 2 sheets of puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds (optional)

Instructions

Follow these step-by-step instructions to create mouth-watering Cheesy BBQ Chicken Pinwheels:

  1. Prepare the Filling:
    • In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, BBQ sauce, shredded cheese, cream cheese, chopped green onions, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
  2. Preheat the Oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  3. Roll Out the Puff Pastry:
    • On a lightly floured surface, roll out one sheet of puff pastry into a rectangle, approximately 12 x 10 inches.
  4. Spread the Filling:
    • Evenly spread half of the chicken and cheese mixture onto the rolled-out pastry, leaving a small border around the edges.
  5. Roll and Seal:
    • Starting from one of the long sides, gently roll the pastry into a tight log. Use a little water or the beaten egg to seal the edges. Repeat with the second sheet of puff pastry and the remaining filling.
  6. Slice the Pinwheels:
    • Using a sharp knife, cut each log into 1-inch slices. Place each pinwheel cut-side up onto the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Apply Egg Wash:
    • Brush the tops of the pinwheels with the beaten egg. Sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.
  8. Bake:
    • Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
  9. Cool and Serve:
    • Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy the warm, cheesy goodness!
